Costa Del Mar Reefton Pro (06S9080) 580G / Polarised Sunglasses

Polarised Sunglasses for Demanding Anglers

The Costa Reefton Pro is far from your average pair of sunglasses. Named after a cult fishing location in New Zealand, it builds on the already well-regarded Reefton with a range of meaningful improvements. The upgraded Pro version now features adjustable Hydrolite Rubber Nosepads that also help reduce lens fogging, dedicated channels for sweat drainage, and metal keeper slots for attaching a retainer strap. The result is a polarised sunglasses for anglers who demand the best.

Outstanding Lenses

The Reefton Pro is fitted with Costa's own 580G lenses - crafted from a particularly high-quality glass material and developed by light spectrum specialists at Costa Del Mar. Beyond the polarisation, one feature stands out as essential: 100% filtration of harmful UVA and UVB radiation. All harmful high-energy blue light is blocked. Costa Del Mar goes further still: to sharpen your vision, harsh yellow light is filtered out while red, green, and harmless blue light are enhanced. The result is a higher-contrast image and improved visibility both above and below the water's surface. A C-Wall coating on the lenses protects against scratches and forms a barrier against water, oil, and sweat, making the lenses easier to clean. Each lens variant has its own character, so here is what sets them apart:

Green Mirror
The Green Mirror lenses offer 10% light transmission and are particularly well suited to use in strong sunlight - for example, from a boat on open water or along the coast. They deliver especially high contrast and are excellent for sight fishing. Note that while the lenses have a green mirror exterior, your view through them is through copper-brown glass.

Copper Silver Mirror
The Copper Silver Mirror lenses are also copper-brown from the wearer's perspective but carry a silver mirror finish on the outside. At 12% light transmission, they are slightly lighter than the Green Mirror, making them well suited to overcast days and smaller, heavily vegetated waters such as streams and small rivers. They are a natural choice for anglers working a spinning rod with small hard lures for trout on overgrown streams.

Blue Mirror
With a light transmission of just 10%, the Blue Mirror lenses cut glare to a minimum and are ideal for bright, sunny days on open water or along the coast. They deliver sharp, high-contrast vision and are a genuine advantage for anyone who wants to track every movement in the water. The striking blue mirror finish looks the part too - and from the wearer's side, the grey lenses provide a relaxed, clear view.

Gray
The Gray lenses are designed for the most intense sunlight - when you're out on open water in full sun, for instance from a boat. They carry the highest darkening factor of the range, though that does mean they are less optimal for sight fishing. With these lenses, protection from harmful radiation and harsh reflections is clearly the priority.

Frame Guide

Buying polarised sunglasses online always raises the question of fit. Costa Del Mar provides detailed guidance here. The Reefton Pro has a very large XL frame. According to Costa Del Mar's frame guide, this size is best suited to people who use the last two adjustment points on a snapback cap - that is, the two largest settings. The fit is a Regular Fit, covering an average amount of the face. The frame is curved to reduce light entering from the sides and to maximise protection. In terms of dimensions, the temple length is 120 mm, the frame width is 138 mm, and the lenses measure 62.9 x 44.9 mm.
